Ingredients
  

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 bell pepper (choose red, yellow, or green), sliced into thin strips

1 medium onion, sliced into rings

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

Salt and pepper to taste

1 package of mini tortilla cones (store-bought or homemade)

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite variety)

1 small ripe avocado, diced

½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Lime wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: In a medium bowl, combine the diced chicken breast, olive oil, taco seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until the chicken is evenly coated with the seasoning blend.

    Cook the Chicken: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken pieces. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Once done, remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced bell pepper and onion. Sauté them for about 4-5 minutes until they are softened yet still maintain a slight crunch. Afterward, return the cooked chicken to the skillet, combining it with the vegetables. Remove from the heat after everything is warmed through.

        Assemble the Taco Cones: Take a mini tortilla cone and carefully fill it with the chicken and vegetable mixture, ensuring a generous amount of filling. Don't be shy—pack it in! Add a layer of shredded cheddar cheese on top for that melty goodness.

          Add Fresh Toppings: Using a small spoon, add diced avocado on top of the cheese in each cone, followed by a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped cilantro for a vibrant touch.

            Serve and Enjoy: Arrange the filled taco cones on a beautiful platter, ensuring they are standing upright. Serve with lime wedges on the side for a zesty squeeze on top right before enjoying.
